AAPL Surge Day 2
APPL is up another 6.5 % today adding on to yesterday's gains due to the announcement of the implementation of Microsoft's Window XP into the iMac. Apparently, this deal is even bigger than expected, hence the 10+% rally in the last two trading sessions. Investors are seeing this as an admition by APPL that they are having a hard time gaining market-share on Microsoft's operating system. It seems that Apple is becoming more and more focused on selling their hardware (iPod, iMac, etc.) and leaving the software portion to someone else. This is a strategic decision that will help Apple sell more computers. The computers look better, they're more stylish, and now you don't have to learn a brand new operating system when you purchase one.
It will be hard to sustain the grow that AAPL has been experiencing by just selling their iPod. Eventually, this branch of the company will begin to plateau and they will need to look to another branch to pick up the slack. This is where this deal comes into play.

Hi there!
What a bold move by Apple!
The big barrier that put an Apple computer in a class of it's own has been demolished. They've reduced their niche such that they've taken the MAC purists and thrown them together with the much larger Windows clan.
This will be interesting to watch, for sure!
And I was just thinking about buying some AAPL options too.
Oh well, the second mouse gets the cheese I suppose.
Great blog, consider me a frequent visitor!
